The Philip & Dorothy Green Award for Young Concert Artists
2010 award winners and recommended artists are now available
The Award for Young Concert Artists enables young musicians at the start of their career to gain vital concert and recital experience across the UK. The scheme also allows Making Music member groups to tap into some of the very best young musical talent to programme into their concert season.
Artists listed here can be engaged by any member group of Making Music. There are a limited number of subsidised bookings - click here to find out how to book these artists.
Since 1961 the award has helped to launch the careers of scores of young musicians. Also available are the Raymond Fox and Alfreda Hodgson bursaries, presented in alternate years to an awards candidate for a specific project (not to be used for general funding).
